Blog

My blog is about my journey through my nursing career. I was inspired to write it on A level results day this year after reading the celebratory and not so celebratory tweets as results came in. It made me reflect to 30 years ago when I received my results and what a failure I felt on that day. However, despite spectacularly failing I look back now and realise that, although it knocked me, there is much to be learned from failing. I wanted to write my blog to prove that unexpected results & obstacles don't have to define you.

Without nurses, midwives and health care assistants, would healthcare survive? Given the terrifying future projection of 410,000 nurse vacancies in the UK without urgent investment, we may be seen as simply ‘numbers’ like rows of identical paper chain doll workers.
